The Black & Gold claimed the honor as 2022 regular-season champions after a dramatic 2-1 win Sunday at the Portland Timbers, staving off a late-season charge by the Philadelphia Union. They also won in 2019, setting a then-record for single-season points (72) that got broken by Shield winners New England Revolution a season ago.
LAFC’s Shield victory cements which 2023 Concacaf Champions League slot they’ll have as part of MLS’s five-team contingent. They finished as runners-up in the 2020 edition of the continental club competition that sends its winner to the FIFA Club World Cup.
